Question

A plane mirror is moving with velocity (2^i+3^j+^k)m/s, which lies in xz plane. Find the velocity of image of a point object which is moving with velocity (^i+2^j5^k)m/s (assume that object is located on front side of the mirror).

Solution

The correct option is A (^i+4^j5^k)m/s
Vm=2^i+3^j+^k Position of plane mirror =(^i+^z)2v0=^i+2^j5^k normal of plane mirror =^ȷ
The velocity of image remains same as object in the directions which are not parallel to normal of the mirror. so velocity of object =^i+x^j5^k In the direction of normal to the mirror VOM=VIMV0VM=(VIVM)
VMV0+VM=VCV3=2VMV0=2(3)2=4j So x=4
so velocity of image =^i+4^j5^k
so option B is correct
